I purchased a PowerShot SX 160 IS about a year ago - here are the symptoms: The LCD display works - however it does not...

Ok - I'm not sure this will help, because I tried what I'm about to describe several times prior to posting my original query. Nonetheless - I followed the IFIXIT link to the postings on LCD display. One mentioned camera reboot...essentially turn off then turn on the camera...(which I had done multiple times, of course). In addition to turn off /on, I also hit "menu" to skip the date/time menu that I can't seem to get rid of. I hit / held "menu" for about 1-2 seconds and voila!!! it worked!! Not very scientific...and YES I had done all of those steps over the past several days without being able to claim victory. I am going to call the image / view finder problem closed. It still isn't working perfectly...something is still amiss, however, at least I can take pics of my pup. Closed for now!
